The Bellova Devil (1.2)

Big Finish Jago and Litefoot Series

I have to admit that I lost the thread at times due to the
accents in this story. It wasn’t difficult to get through overall and it was a
very fun story to listen to, establishing the personalities of Jago and
Litefoot. But the accents made it difficult to pick out who was who at times.

I
found it fascinating that there were both sides of the vampire mythos in action
here – Jago believing in vampires and Litefoot using science to explain the
mythology. And science wins out until that very last moment of the story! There
is always something inexplicable and beyond understanding in these stories and
I really enjoy that about them. This helps bridge the time period gap for me.
Instead of dismissing the science of the 19th century, I can see the
basic principles of science that are later expanded on in the 20th
century and beyond. And the superstitions of the time too through Jago’s eyes.
Fascinating stuff though this story wasn’t the best of the bunch. It did add to
the character of our heroes so it was good, just not great.
